Stephen King Book • Page 86

I'm gonna triple post because I started Black House today and I must say King writing about Korn and 311 was not on my bingo card lmao

 

finally finished Black House today. very slow start but once it got going it was really strong stuff. Henry Leyden is easily one of the best characters in a King book, loved him

 

I want to be excited about this but I just do not see the point in adapting Carrie again.

 

Came here to say this. Flanagan needs to work on Dark Tower first

 

maybe he's doing it this way cos Carrie is gonna be a Breaker

 

good god I remember them being close together but it's so wild that those two deaths in DT7 happen within 60 pages of each other. can't even imagine reading that after following the series for 20 years, King was nasty for that

 

i am in the middle of a DT re-read after like 15 years? taking the opportunity to read the related works that I haven't before (all of them)

so far it's been

DT1>DT2>the Stand>DT3>DT4 (which I liked soooo much more this time, just wanted to get out of the flashback the first time)>Salem's Lot>on Insomnia right now

after Insomnia it will be

Little Sisters of Eluria>Everything's Eventual>Low Men>DT5>DT6>DT7>Keyhole

The Stand was really incredible, well worth the time. As good as anything I've read by him. Not far into Insomnia yet but not finding it hard to start/boring as I've seen some say

 

Did you do the original Stand or the uncut version?

 

Uncut, I figured if I'm doing all this I might as well go all in

 

Insomnia is a bit bloated. I’m a huge king fan and I remember waiting for it to be over, which isn’t usually the case with him!

 

Really struggling to get through fairy tale. At the half way point and just no desire to pick back up

 

good stuff here, not that different than mine although I read Keyhole in between 4 and 5. would also recommend Eyes of the Dragon if you can find a copy, it's a really quick read but it enriches the world and Flagg's story a lot

 

I picked up The Long Walk today. I’m a big fan, but didn’t know he wrote the book when I saw the movie trailer. It seems like a quick read.

 

I’m due for a reread too. I only read books 1-7 and The Stand, but that was over ten years ago.
